DRILL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 755,528, dated March 22, 1904.

Application filed June 27, 1903. Serial No. 163,414. (No model.)

To all whom it nan/y concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM N. NEW'roN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Barnesville, in the county of Pike and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Drill, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to drills, and more particularly to a simplified construction of hand-drill, the object being to provide a simple and efficient device particularly adapted for the use of farmers, blacksmiths, and the Another object of the invention is to provide a drill which can be arranged and operated in various positions and at the same time maintaining the proper pressure from the drill-bit.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the novel features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the practical application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section.

In carrying out my invention I employ an essentially rectangular clamp A, a clampingbolt B passing through one member thereof, said bolt being provided with an eye B at its outer end.

0 indicates a lever which may be any desired length and is formed with an arm D, arranged at a right angle to the lever C, said arm carrying a stud or pin D, which is adapted to fit into the eye B of the bolt B. Alever C is formed with a circular aperture C adjacent the arm D, and the lower end of this aperture is slightly enlarged, as shown at C E indicates the bit-stock, having a reduced circular portion E, adapted to turn in the aperture C, and a shoulder portion E, which bears against the enlarged portion C The upper end of the bit-stock E is polygonal in cross-section.

G indicates the crank-handle, provided with a grip G at its outer end, the inner end having a square aperture G in which fits the end E of the bit-stock, and a set-screw Gr is employed for fastening the crank-handle upon the upper end of the bit-stock.

F indicates the bit or drill, and F a set-screw for securing the same in the stock. The clamp can be fastened to the edge of a bench or table, and the material to be drilled or bored can be placed upon the bench or table, and by hearing down upon the lever and turning the crank-handle the drilling or boring operation can be quickly and easily accomplished. The lever is quickly and easily detached from the clamp and eyebolt, and the bit-stock and crankhandle can also be quickly and easily disconnected from the lever whenever desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A drill comprisinga clamp having an eyebolt, a lever angled adjacent one end, a stud carried by the lower end of the angled portion of the lever adapted to detachably engage the eyebolt, a stock carried by the lever, and means for rotating the stock.

2. A drill of the kind described comprising a clamp having a clamping-screw provided with an eye at its outer end, a lever having an arm provided with a stud adapted to engage the eye, a stock having one end passing through the lever and a crank fastened upon said end of the stock, substantially as described.

3. A drill of the kind described comprising an essentially rectangul shaped clamp, a clamping-bolt passing througli one memb of the same and having an eye at its outer end, a lever having an arm, said arm carrying a stud adapted to engage the eye of the clamp ing-bolt, a stock having a reduced end and passing through an aperture in the lever, and the crank-handle secured to said end of the stock, substantially as described.

WILLIAM N. NEWTON.
